Mistakes can be a good thing. :)

I need them not for the corrective powers, but because flourescent 
lights and monitors in conjunction with each other plays havoc with 
my eyes. If I don't wear them while using a computer under 
flourescent lighting I get massive headaches.

I can work under flourescents all day just fine without my glasses, 
as long as I don't use a computer. I can use my computer at home all 
day long with out my glasses just fine, because we only have 
incandescent bulbs in our lights.

Even when I am commuting and using the laptop, I need my glasses. The 
commuter train I take uses flourescent light for its lighting and I 
notice it after a while if I don't use them.

It took 2 eye doctors to figure it out. The glasses I use have a 
minimal rose coloured tint and it helps.

But, If I am talking to someone I need to take them off, otherwise I 
can't focus properly. So no contacts for me.
